Product Overview

"I will not live among you", Abigail Buwell says when she is taken from her life among the savages and returned, against her will, to "civilization" the last military outpost on the frontier's hostile edge.

Only Major Robert Cutter, the commander into whose hands she is delivered, hears her words.

Abigail Buswell views her new life as captivity, with freedom still out of reach. Major Cutter, crushed by the Cival War and its aftermath, struggles to free himself of the doubts and a boy that haunts him. And journalist Reed Gabriel finds that both the story he wants to write and his own life are trapped within Buwell's silence.
